Baby Blankets

As a total newbie to the quilting world I was referring to my baby BLANKETS as baby QUILTS. However, according to the quilt books I've borrowed from the library I was wrong. A quilt must have three layers and must be hand/machine quilted or hand tied. The baby blankets I made started off as quilt tops and I simply backed them with anti-pill fleece.

This one is bound and hand tied:

And this one was turned and top stitched, then I used my machine to tack it down in several spots to keep the two fabrics from shifting.

Here is a picture of the "blanket top"

I really enjoyed making these two blankets. I made the "Cowboy" blanket for my husband's new baby cousin due in September. The "Pirate Octopus" blanket was a baby shower gift for some dear friends who are expecting a baby boy in October. Both were paired with a few "Pee Pee Tee Pees" I really wish I would've made some for Little Man. Those night changes were quite the eh, wet challenge. 

Thank you for reading! God Bless you!

Give your burdens to the Lord, 

and He will take care of you.

He will not permit the Godly

to slip and fall.  -Psalm 55:22
